Q: I'm getting a weird error when I launch the application (0xc0000135) ?
A: This is the .Net Framework, we rely on this technology to save us hours of programming. The .Net Framework is created by Microsoft for that purpose.
You can get the .Net Framework via Windows update or just install this stand alone file: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=262D25E3-F589-4842-8157-034D1E7CF3A3&displaylang=en

nice...I really like this tool.

It doesn't seem to run here.
When I try to run it he says that there is already an instance running.
Any thoughts?
I could run the 2.0 before though.

There is a flag at start to make sure not 2 version running at the same time (that would cause problem with the xml), check that there is not another gwfreaks.exe process running, if so kill it.

Nope, there is only one running. It's shown in Process bar when hitting ctrl + alt + del.
I tried to reboot my pc a couple of times. But still nothing. As soon as I click the GwFreaks icon it just looks like it's running, but then it just pops away and keeps in my Process bar. I can unload it from there, and do it again, but it doesn't seem to help. :(

I'm having the same problem as moenbase. It started after the update. I even uninstalled, deleted, downloaded from the web site and reinstalled but with the same results.
EDIT: Oops! After reading what I posted, I realized that I didn't DELETE anything. Went back and followed I originally said I did and it worked.

Check up right corner of the application, you should see something like this.
The red line is your health and the blue line is your mana.

I have been using this for about two months and I work with Zyo for some of the translation work. This is a VALID program and probably better than some you pay your hard earned (or your parents') money for.
Here's some updates :happy53:
New Features:- Menu to change mode
Improvements:- Skill lock are now in grayscale to see the difference
(can switch to team mode to see color or unlock all)
- Skill database updated, lot of syntax errors corrected
- Equipment database updated
Fix:
- Bug in Equipment when switching to offhand, runes was displaying
- Bug in Health/Energy bonus calculation
Sorry for last update freaks! :love38:
Improvements:
- Skill database update
- Fame per rank updated up to rank 15
- Faster updater, less bandwidth
Fix:
- Bug runes wasn't working anymore

Some of the skill descriptions still aren't correct. Holy veil for instance. Description says 2 sec cast, but it's 1 sec cast spell.

First - Great Work on the utility its stable and very useful :happy14:
some small nit picks for you
Spelling Error in Armor:
Bloodstrained Boots = Bloodstained Boots
Description: Spells that target corpses cast faster.
Spelling Error in Weapons
PVP Incsribed Staff = Inscribed Staff
PVP Jewled Chakram = Jeweled Chakram
thats all ive found in my brief use of the utility so far
also
Is there an intention to make a stand alone application out of this utility?
.Net is great and all but i dont want to spend the time dl'n it to use it on my other machines.
keep up the good work :happy34:

Check out the update, this skill has been update a few weeks ago.

Unfortunatly no, we choose .NET to save time because it came with 3000+ class library, having to port it to MFC or other native language will just take time that we don't have.

I'm going to be majorly working on the including of skills that you can capture from bosses for GWFreaks.
As far as I'm concerned, any information I find may also be used by GWOnline.Net, but since I'm basically submitting it to GWFreaks (since it's faster and easier), you'll have to ask their permission to get information from the program to post on your site.
If anyone would like to help me, please e-mail screenshots to Thortok2000@msn.com.
What your screenshot needs to include:
A) The boss' name (if you have him targeted, the name will be in the target window, or in a cap sig, if you take it)
B) A map location (the map window's default key is U, the map needs to be open when you take the screenshot)
C) (optional) A skill the boss uses, either by having the signet of capture window open and showing them all, or by having him targeted and showing him using it.
You can compress or not compress, or change the extension to jpeg, I don't care. However, please do not crop the photo, so I can confirm its accuracy.
Please try to make sure you are providing information not already in the GWFreaks program. I don't want to get swamped with a ton of e-mails showing information we already know anyway. If the location is a new spot for that boss, or if the skill does not have that boss mentioned, then please submit. ^_^
Just a words to let know the community we released version 2.2 that include translation into French, German, Italian, Spanish, Swedish and Polish.
We have also update both Skill and Npc information.
This version is a multiple people effort. Thanks to everybody that contributed to the success of GWFreaks.

You have to unlock the skills. Right click a skill to unlock it. Locked skills are grey.
The map is also pretty slow to load.

The black and white feature is to show skills that are "loocked" in the game. Some people use GWFreaks to track what they have unlock.
If you don't like this feature you can go in the Account Mode is click the "Unlock All" button... or play around the tool in Team mode (can be change from the menu).
The map loading issue is problematic for many user, the map is a huge 120 mb bitmap compressed in jpg. Most computer with 512meg of ram and less have problem with the map. The next version will be more like Google map, split and loaded in small block. Check out for version 2.2.1 that will surely solve your map issue.

Wait wtf? i get the whole eroor 00000135xc thing, and you its part of the .net thing. and you give a site. so i go tot htat site. and i download the thing. i stick it in my C drive, and then im like ok.. click gw freaks. sme eror. so 2 things.
Where do i put the dotnetfx...
and
How?
dotnetfx.exe must be installed... not just download/copied.
Fownkaymownkay
10-11-2005, 14:15
But when i click dotnetfx it says: C:\dotnetfc.exe is not a valid win32 application...
??
Fownkaymownkay
15-11-2005, 15:24
uhh..hello?
If dotnetfc.exe is not a valid win32 application, the file is probably corrupted during the download (this is rare but can happen... like if your Internet connection stop)
I suggest you re-download the .net framework. Install it and GWFreaks will works.

Would GWfreak go in Chinese,Japanese and Korean since these 3 languages are supported by A-net
Everything is ready for those language, just need someone to do it. There is no way I can do it myself, I can't even type Asian language.
Note that all translations have been done by the community. GWFreaks only support the English version but distribute all languages once they are submitted to us.
:xmas9:
We over-passed the 72 219 download. I think this worth a bump :)
For those that did try the old version, GWFreaks his a new map engine that is very fast and more memory friendly.
NEW VERSION 2.5 OUT NOW
Version 2.5.0 Chapter 2 (Ritualist & Assassin) with asian language
New features:
- Added class Assassin and Ritualist classes with the 145 new skills.
- Added Japanese and Traditional Chinese language pack.
Update:
- Over 20 skills & locations modified by Thortok2000.
- Minor changed in the language pack module to allow Asian language name
If you get a MAJOR language mixing when GWFreaks open, it's because you have download version 2.5.0.0. That version last only 2 hr on our server before the fix (2.5.0.1) got released.
Sorry, this will cost you and me 6 meg of download.
OK this was an all around stupid post. i posted this before i really thought about it......sorry!

I've send a email to Fallen to inform him about the update with a zip file of all the new skill icons and he did reply me this:
"[...] I will tell my boss (Rush) about updating the file on our servers right away! And I really appreciate the skill icons :D"
By the time the files get on gwonline.net file section. You can download it from our local server: http://www.gwfreaks.com/download/character_builder.zip [6.3 meg w/ Map, Skills and 9 languages pack]
I just downloaded this and im getting a unable to locate dll. mscoree.dll

GWFreaks is a far superior application to the Edge, and I am happy to recommend it to anyone. I did some work with Zyo on smoothing out the English translation, but personal life got in the way of helping out. Expect to see my name on the list of contributors in the next few months.:fortuneteller:
I can't wait to start using it to make a team build including Rt and A.:cloud9:
